2013 Map of Colony Township NW

About this map

S Ladder Cr meanders through this high plains landscape at the border of Kansas and Colorado, providing a central drainage for the surrounding ranchlands. The area is defined by its precise section-line road network, including thoroughfares such as Co Highway G, Co Road 58, and Co Road 60. These routes trace the legal boundaries of the Public Land Survey System, which is clearly marked by townships such as t015s r042w and t016s r041w. The landscape reflects the systematic agricultural development of the early twenty-first century, where the transition between Colorado and Kansas is marked only by a jurisdictional line and the meeting of Greeley, Wallace, and Cheyenne counties. The survey captures the remote nature of the region, where water courses like S Ladder Cr dictate the topography amidst a strictly gridded human geography.
